Recipient story
Couple in their 60's have lost their home and generational farm/vineyard of over 45 years. Total devastation
2026 Victoria Bushfires
In a matter of hours, everything this couple spent the last 45 years building was taken by the Longwood 2026 bushfire.
Their family farm — once filled with memories, laughter, and hard‑earned milestones — is now ashes. They lost their entire home, a cherished cottage on the property, and their winery business, including all stock and equipment. What remains is the land beneath their feet and the weight of a lifetime of memories now gone.
In their 60s, starting over was never meant to be part of the plan.
Right now, they are staying in temporary accommodation, facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding not just structures, but a sense of stability and hope. Their immediate goal is to place basic housing on the block so they can remain on their land while they rebuild their future — step by step, day by day.
Your support can make a tangible difference.
